"A Name Worth Steeling"

Tune: "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," from My Fair Lady

Originally printed in Our Favorite Things 7

 

Remington:

I've grown accustomed to the name;

With it my whole life you have changed.

And though I've used a hundred names

And thrown them all away,

The name of Steele is here to stay.

I'm not the man I used to be;

You've set my shackled spirit free.

Now I am on the straight and narrow

And I owe it all to you;

Thanks to you the past is dead

And all things seem brand new.

The future never looked so bright--

Life never felt so right--

I owe it to that name!

 

Laura:

I've grown accustomed to the name;

With it my whole life you have changed.

You took my neatly ordered world

And turned it upside down;

Because of you, new life I've found.

Your past may be a mystery,

But that's all ancient history.

I found a disillusioned wanderer

And I simply changed his name;

Ever since that magic day

I've not been quite the same.

My secret fantasy came true

The day that I met you--

I owe it to that name.
